Congratulations to everyone involved in ‘Hearts and Flowers’ last week. The show was written by Ann and John Denby and took a ‘tongue-in-cheek’ look at marriage with a medley of songs and sketches. Despite a small audience on the opening night the show was well supported for the remainder of the run and received some very positive comments from the audience. Kaleidoscope provided technical support for this production in the form of lighting and stage crew as well as some members taking on acting roles. Congratulations to all involved.

The summer show is fast approaching and we are still keen for members to suggest plays for this year’s performance. We will need to have decided on what show we’re going to do by the end of next month in order to get performing rights confirmed for the summer. Please use the Forum page of this website to put forward any suggestions you may have.

Also I’m pleased to say that rehearsal dates have now been booked for Scrooge and a rehearsal schedule will be produced shortly and uploaded to the websites new ‘Downloads’ page.

Kaleidoscope’s first international excursion has been a success and we have been able to sample a variety of Czech theatre and music. Hopefully we will be able to repeat another international trip at a similar time next year.

In other news Curtain Up’s ‘Hearts and Flowers’ production is drawing near and performances will be at the Memorial Hall, Freshwater from Thursday 23rd April to Saturday 25th April. Tickets available on the door.

Also, a deposit has now been paid for the performance rights for ‘Scrooge’. Performance dates are likely to be December 16th – 19th. I will keep the website posted as we progress.

All rehearsal dates for the summer show have now been finalised and booked with the venue. You can download a copy of the rehearsal schedule from the link below.
